Internet Provider

Who is your Internet provider? And do you like them?

I have Open Range and they are pretty decent but I mainly have them because the bigger names, Comcast and Qwest don't provide to the small town I live in :wave:

I use GO DADDY, and do it myself. so many are learning how to do that today. but it is good that you know how to be your own webmaster & for others. My grandson use to do mine, but he got married and now does it for our City. Of course went to college to do it. so all is well, I guess!! :D

Mediacom, and they are pretty fast but they have frequent outages and slow times. This also knocks my phone out since it is through them also. We live in a small town though, and its them or dsl.

time warner - and although i hate, hate, hate
this company because they're absolutely incompetent,
we haven't had a problem with them for our internet
specifically...

i'd like to find a cheaper route. i think we pay right under
$40 a month but this includes internet only. i haven't
really shopped around and i throw AT&T's junkmail offers
straight into the garbage because the fine print is a joke!
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

Funny that this should come up at this moment.  We use Timer Warner Cable and for the most part they have been reliable and dependable until tonight when they were down for about four hours.

You know I started this thread a few days after my internet started acting up, I thought it was fixed that day but alas I am still experiencing major issues, my entire town is so I may need to look elsewhere!   :sad1:

I live in a small town in Texas and use Partnership Broadband. I don't know how widespread it is but you can check in to it. I have never had any trouble at all with them and they are very reasonably priced. I live in a rural area where the wind blows pretty bad sometimes and have yet to lose our connection because of it. I have with every other service I have tried though.

We have many choices in our town but I found that some work better then others.  We could not decided what to do, so we went to a local techinal school that has an IST Department, and they were able to tell me the differrance between the companies in the area.  So we found it was great to get an opionon that was not based on them making money.
